SANTA FE SPRINGS, CALIF. — Juanita’s Foods, a portfolio company within Apex Capital, has acquired a facility in Santa Fe Springs that will become its primary production site.
The manufacturer of Mexican-style soups, stews and sauces as well as menudo pozole and hominy, is moving production from its Wilmington, Calif., plant into the 120,000-square-foot Santa Fe Springs facility.
The move will support growth and meet demand specifically for its core menudo, pozole and hominy products for retail and foodservice channels, the company said.
“For 80 years, Juanita’s has been made in Southern California, and this investment keeps it that way,” said Robert Rosales, chief executive officer of Juanita’s Foods. “Santa Fe Springs gives us the capacity, capabilities and room to grow that our brand needs for its next chapter.”
